Jamenei promises to take revenge on Israel for “starting a war”
The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatolá Ali Jamenei, promised to “act with force” and avenge an Israeli military attack against his country that has so far killed his generals of greater rank and has attacked key nuclear sites.
Israel “should not think that everything is over because they attacked and that’s it. No. They started this and began the war. We will not allow them to escape unharmed from this great crime they have committed,” Jamenei said in a pre -recorded message broadcast by state television.
Netanyahu squeezes the trigger to attack Iran after 30 years of waiting
Benjamin Netanyahu has been affirming that the main threat to Israel’s existence is the Iranian nuclear program. At least twice during that period, he was about to attack him.
Now, at 75, the Israeli prime minister has launched the greatest attack against Iran in the history of his country. It is an operation of enormous risk and great potential that will define the legacy of the Israeli leader with more years in power and revolutionize the Middle East.
In a speech to the nation on Friday night, Netanyahu claimed to have ordered the preparations for the assault in November. However, the bold attack was the result of a confluence of factors dating from years ago.
Hamas’s mortal attack in 2023 forced Israel to rethink its defense and allowed its army to decimate the threats of Iranian allies like Hezbollah. After years of efforts, Israeli intelligence had penetrated Iran so deeply that it could attack its nuclear program protected from the interior of the country. An American president who supported him and a hard line circle in Israeli leadership allowed Netanyahu, with his fogged popularity, to make the decision he had avoided for so long.
A day after the first wave of attacks (hundreds of war airplanes attacked hundreds of sites at 1,700 kilometers away), It is too early to evaluate how this new war will develop and if it will expand beyond Iran and Israel.
